Anythings better than nothing but hell, I reckon there are ENOUGH people out there running stumpies & chippers. I reckon concentrate on the stuff off the ground. Get the pruning basics down BEFORE people get off the ground...there are plenty of climbers out there, that doesn't mean that they are any good at pruning a tree...surely thats where we should be heading?
